Golley, Frank B. 1998. A Primer for Environmental literacy. New Haven: Yale University Press.
This book uses a "top-down" approach, starting on a global scale
and ending with individual organisms, that includes a reading list on
each topic. An excellent book to use as a gateway into environmental
literature.
